Elder brother's garrison

The fingers are long and slender, with pointed and glossy nails. The back of the hand is white, smooth, soft, and boneless. The joints of the fingers are also very delicate, and the touch feels warm and comfortable.

Xiaobai took Nanxing's hand and pulled him up from the beach.

"You've been sitting for several hours straight, Sister Nanxing. Are you feeling alright?" Xiaobai asked with a smile, holding Nanxing's hand.

“…” Nanxing looked down at his body and shook his head.

"I see." Xiaobai smiled and took Nanxing's hand, walking towards the top ten admirals. "Let's go check on the others."

Xiao Bai and Nan Xing walked to the group.

"This time, I'm going to win, win, win!" At the card table, Admiral Lian's eyes blazed with fire as she gripped her cards, her fighting spirit burning brightly. But when she noticed Xiaobai and Nanxing approaching, the flames of determination in her eyes subsided, and she turned to Nanxing and Xiaobai with a smile. "Oh... Nanxing, wait a minute, just one more win, and this spot is yours!"

"Waiting for Lian to win one more game... that'll be a long wait." Admiral Ling complained helplessly from the side, "Oh dear... she's already lost six games in a row."

"Hey! We're sisters! How can you assume your dear sister will lose!"

"There are no fathers and sons at the card table, and of course, no sisters either." Admiral Ling sighed. "You're such a bad player, I'm thinking of teaming up with Duan Duan this round."

"Alright, you brat, looks like I'll have to side with Haoding this time and put aside my own family for the greater good!"

"Hahaha, playing cards with you guys is really exciting!" Admiral Haoding laughed as he arranged his cards. After saying this, he turned to Xiaobai and Nanxing and said energetically, "Admiral Lulin, Admiral Nanxing, it's a pity that the card table can only support a maximum of four people. After I finish this round, I'll give this spot to you."

"Ah... I'm not really interested in playing cards, Admiral Haoding, you can continue." Xiaobai quickly shook his head with a smile, "I like watching you guys play."

"Is that so? What about Admiral Nanxing?" Haoding looked at Nanxing.

Nanxing stared at the card table for a while, then quietly lowered her head to look at her hands, which were tightly clasped together with Xiaobai's.

Nanxing tightened her grip, her fingernails gently pressing against the back of Xiaobai's hand.

“…I won’t fight either,” Nanxing said.

"In that case, it seems I can only persevere for a few more rounds." Admiral Haoding smiled knowingly.

"Oh, oh, oh, it seems we're destined to settle this today! Prepare yourself, Duan Duan!" Admiral Lian pointed at Duan Shuiliu, who was busy organizing his cards. "I'm sure I'll win this round! After I win, I want you to promise not to bother me when I'm playing with my little cutie next time!"

"..." Duan Shuiliu calmly raised his head, looked at Admiral Lian, and nodded quietly, "So you were waiting for me here."

"Hmph, just tell me if you accept or not!"

“That’s acceptable,” Duan Shuiliu said, glancing at his hand.

"Aha!"

Upon hearing Duan Shuiliu's agreement, Admiral Lian was overjoyed and jumped up from the mahjong table with one foot on the stool.

"You've got an exceptionally good hand this time! Duan Duan, you'd better get ready!"

Faced with Admiral Lian's provocation, Duan Shuiliu remained as calm as a mountain stream, without the slightest wavering.

Watching the interaction between Admiral Lian and Duan Shuiliu, Xiao Bai couldn't help but smile.

"Speaking of which, Admiral Nanxing," Admiral Haoding, who was opposite them, asked while symbolically playing a card, "Have you settled the ship girl fleet in the depths of the sea?" Just as Duan Shuiliu and Admiral Lian were playing a card duel, "Has the ship girl fleet in the depths of the sea been settled yet?"

"Okay." Nanxing responded, "We've found a safe area. Let them stay put and rest."

"Haha, us too." Admiral Haoding laughed heartily. "Waiting for the sea boss to respawn is such a long process! I wonder when the next sea boss will spawn!"

"Have your ship girls also taken a break?" Nanxing asked.

"Yes."

"What about Duan Shuiliu?" Nanxing paused for a moment and looked at Duan Shuiliu.

"Admiral Duan was the first among us to reach the depths of the sea, and she has already slain the sea boss." Admiral Haoding smiled at Nanxing. "Of course, she also obtained the certificate of the slaying, but Admiral Duan said she would wait for us to leave together, so she temporarily stationed the ship girls in a safe area near the depths of the sea."

“Together…” Nanxing murmured to himself.

"Yes, I didn't expect Admiral Duan to be such a person who values ​​rituals." Admiral Haoding smiled, looking admiringly at Duan Shuiliu across the card table.

While everyone was talking, Duan Shuiliu had already played his last card to the astonishment of Admiral Lian.

"I won," Duan Shuiliu said calmly, pressing the last card on the table.

"What—how—how…how could they win like this?!"

Admiral Lian's miserable howls were exceptionally pleasant to hear.

Chapter 2947 The Characteristics of the Top Ten Admirals

Generally speaking, the respawn time of sea bosses is unstable, ranging from as short as a few hours to as long as several days or even weeks.

However, the spawning of sea bosses ultimately depends on the concentration of deep-sea aura in the sea area.

With a strong and abundant deep-sea atmosphere, the sea bosses naturally spawn much faster.

vice versa.

I remember when we set off today, Admiral Haoding said that the conditions in the 8-3 sea area were very good. This means not only that the sea area is open and clear, but also that the deep-sea aura in the 8-3 sea area is relatively abundant, and the sea boss will respawn much faster than usual.

The top ten admirals played cards, and the atmosphere became quite lively.

Just as Admiral Lian was tidying up her hand and preparing to continue her duel with Duan Shuiliu, she suddenly shuddered.

"Huh? Ren, what's wrong?" Everyone asked when they saw Admiral Ren.

"The sea boss has spawned," Admiral Lian muttered. She quickly put down the cards in her hand. "Oh, I'm done playing, I'm going to get down to business. You guys play!"

Under everyone's gaze, Admiral Lian hurriedly ran off the card table, went to a quiet and secluded spot, sat down on the ground, and closed his eyes.

The admirals looked at Admiral Lian, who had turned into a statue in the distance, with great understanding, and consciously began to tidy up the cards on the table.

"It's only been an hour since the last sea boss was sunk?" Admiral Haoding glanced at the time on his phone while arranging the cards, then laughed at everyone, "Haha! If every sea boss respawns this frequently, it seems we can all get the kill token before the sea closure time arrives today!"

"After Ren finishes, it'll be my turn!" Admiral Ling said, tapping the table with her finger. "I'm so anxious! I hope Ren can finish quickly."

"Given Admiral Lian's skill level, the battle will probably only take ten minutes or so to finish," Duan Shuiliu said.

"So we have about ten minutes of free time now?"

"If there are three of us... how about we play Dou Dizhu? I know the rules fairly well."

"Are Admiral Nanxing and Admiral Lu Lin coming?"

"They don't seem to be interested in card games."

"Pity……"

The three top ten admirals chatted amongst themselves, and then naturally began shuffling the deck.

Xiao Bai stood aside with a smile, watching the three top ten admirals at the card table chatting and laughing.

Actually, Xiaobai isn't completely uninterested in card games. After all, she's quite good at playing card games where you can cheat with your memory. Against ordinary people who never remember cards, Xiaobai is like having card vision, and her chances of winning are usually very high—who doesn't hate the feeling of victory?

It's just...

Thinking of this, Xiaobai turned her head and glanced at Nanxing beside her.

Xiao Bai's hand is still tightly clasped with Nan Xing's.

This is what Xiaobai Lananxing held when he sat up on the beach.

As if they were telepathically connected, neither of them wanted to let go of the other's hand.

Who told Nanxing's hand...?

It feels so nice to touch...

Xiao Bai really wants to touch this hand forever, until the end of time (just kidding).

Moreover, Nanxing is one of the few unique beings that can evoke both feelings in novice humans and ship girls at the same time.

Playing cards is something you can do anytime you go back to the naval base to see Barbarossa, but the chance to touch Nanxing's hand is currently quite slim.

"Speaking of which, Sister Duan, your card skills are amazing!" Xiaobai said to Duan Shuiliu at the card table. "I saw you winning the whole time."

“When we have free time, our military police often organize some recreational activities, and we play a lot of card and board games,” Duan Shuiliu explained to Xiaobai. “I’ve won the military police’s card and board game championship a few times.”

"No wonder he's an office worker..."

"Of course, it's also because Lian's card skills are really bad," Duan Shuiliu added. "She even often makes the mistake of splitting a bomb into two unnecessary plays."

"Well... haha." Admiral Haoding laughed upon hearing this, "Admiral Lian's professional level as an admiral is quite worthy of our learning, but it seems that she has always struggled to do well in other aspects!"

“This is the legendary ultimate specialization,” Admiral Ling said.

The group chatted and laughed, playing Dou Dizhu (a card game) for a while, about ten minutes later.

Just as Duan Shuiliu had predicted, after a dozen minutes, the admiral Lian, who had been holding her breath in the distance, finally opened her eyes. She stretched and hurriedly returned to the group.

"I'm back!"

"Lian, welcome back. How's the battle going?"

"Hehe, easy win!" Lian plopped back down in her seat, unable to contain her excitement, and said to everyone with a smile, "I've got the kill certificate, and the ship girl team has retreated to the safe zone. Okay, okay! I can finally relax. Time to play some cards!"

"Oh……"

"You didn't say anything bad about me just now, did you?" Lian stared at everyone's faces and suddenly asked Ling.

"Of course not."

"Really?"

"It's all just the truth."

"Hey!"

……

As mentioned this morning, the sea conditions at 8:3 today are excellent.

Just an hour after Admiral Lian finished her kill and returned to the card table to continue playing the game with everyone, Admiral Ling also received a message that the sea boss had spawned.

After explaining the situation, Admiral Ling left the card table and returned more than ten minutes later, letting out a long sigh of relief to everyone.

"Wuhu, I'm done after I've killed Erlin V and Lin San VI."

"You took fourteen minutes!" Admiral Lian said smugly to Ling, arms crossed. "I only took thirteen minutes!"

"Okay, okay, you're amazing, you're amazing." Admiral Ling shrugged her shoulders, sat back down, and pouted, "It's all because my fleet is a six-battleship fleet. In terms of clearing the battlefield, it's naturally slower than Ren's carrier group."

"Do Admiral Lian and Admiral Ling have different preferences in training ship girls?" Xiaobai asked from the side.

“It’s not just that their inclinations are different; they are completely opposite.” Admiral Haoding chuckled twice and then said, “Admiral Lian’s main fleet has always only trained aircraft carrier ship girls, while Admiral Ling is like another form of Admiral Lian; she only trains artillery ship girls.”

"Huh... is that so?"

"It's because I can't build any battleships at all," Admiral Lian said helplessly, spreading her hands. "I was forced to train aircraft carriers instead."

"So, Admiral Ling is also..."

"I can't build aircraft carriers, not a single one," Admiral Ling shrugged helplessly.

"Wow... the world is truly amazing." Xiaobai covered her mouth and said to the twins in front of her, "So, Admiral Lian and Admiral Ling made it into the world's top ten just by relying on aircraft carriers and battleships respectively?"

"Yes."

"So your ship girls must be really powerful, right?" Xiaobai said in surprise, clenching her hands tightly.

Seeing Xiaobai's surprised look, Admiral Lian and Admiral Ling both shuddered and shrank their shoulders.

"I suddenly feel a chill down my spine... Is it just my imagination?"

Admiral Lian touched his back and addressed the crowd.

"Hahaha, looks like he's been exposed to too much sea breeze." Admiral Haoding laughed loudly from the side.

……

Time gradually passed into the afternoon in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

After Admiral Lian and Admiral Ling finished their kills, the next sea boss spawned a little later, about an hour and a half later.

Upon receiving the information, Admiral Haoding quickly got up, greeted everyone, and went to carry out the final kill. He returned feeling refreshed just five or six minutes later.

The sea boss appeared two hours after the one who was the Admiral Haoding.

Nanxing, the last one, reluctantly let go of Xiaobai's hand. She went to a nearby spot, sat down, and closed her eyes.

Among the top ten admirals, the garrison commanderies varied in strength.

The top ten admirals also have their own unique characteristics.

As mentioned earlier, the characteristic of Admiral Ren's naval base is that it is a carrier battle group trained to the highest level, while the characteristic of Admiral Ling's naval base is that, like Ren's, it is a bombardment group trained to the highest level.

The rankings of these two naval bases may be affected by their "specialization," resulting in a relatively low world ranking. However, thanks to their "extreme" characteristics, they can perform far beyond their world ranking in certain situations.
